Oklahoma City is a metro on the rise! From our campus in the city’s Uptown 23rd entertainment and business district, you can take a short drive, walk or ride to downtown or neighboring districts for live music, local cuisine, coffee

shops, entertainment and cultural events. While the OKC metro boasts a growing population of more than 1.3 million residents, you can find serenity on OCU’s tree-lined campus, with an expansive outdoor quad that is perfect for sunny afternoons.
